643 New Baby - New Life
Simon talks about how his routine has changed now that he is a father.

Todd: So, Simon, I have to congratulate you. I hear you have new child.

Simon: That's right.

Todd: Wow. You're a papa. (Yeah) So what's it like being a father?

Simon: Well, it is a completely different lifestyle than before - Papahood, parenthood. Yeah, so, yeah. Life totally changes.

Todd: Like how so? How has your life changed?

Simon: Well, I don't get as much sleep as I used to because as newborn babies they get all the time. They poop all the time. They want to eat all the time, so I change diapers, I feed a bottle. You got to carry it all the time if he's feeling lonely. I have a son by the way. It requires a lot of attention and of course, you want to be with your baby so that helps.

Todd: Now, since you had your child, your routine has changed, but have your felt that your personility has changed?

Simon: I don't think so. People don't change that easily. You just adjust to a new factor in your life, so maybe I put more priority on things like money and time spent.

Todd: Right. Fair enough. Fair enough.

Simon: So, like what's a typical day. What do you do on a typical day with your baby, like from morning to night?

Todd: Well, for one, it's got to be said, I'm the father so I don't have as much to do as his mother but when I work, you know I'm the bread-winner so my job is to make money so that I can buy all the stuff that he needs.

Simon: On my day off, basically I wake up, let my better-half have breakfast and I take care of him that way. Change his diaper. Do little stuff like that. Then, yeah, it's basically, it's actually quite monotonous really, you just change the diaper, feed, relax, change the diaper, feed, play, relax. It's kind of like a cycle but you know, when he smiles at me then it's all worth it.
